It's almost time for Glastonbury which means it's almost been a year since Elton John's monumental headline show, performing to one the biggest (if not *the* biggest) crowds the festival has ever seen. To celebrate we're bringing you an updated version of our Too Low For Zero episode, originally released on Patreon last year to celebrate its 40th a…

So far we've been track by track through three Erasure albums - The Neon, Chorus and Snow Globe, as well as the ABBA-Esque EP - so we know we've got a lot of catching up to do.

S05E16 Rolling Stones 'Voodoo Lounge' with guest Gaz Jones 2:04:03

2M ago2:04:03

2:04:03

Thirty years after their debut album it turns out that the Rolling Stones are still capable of getting to number one in the UK with a new record. The 90s were fucking weird. Is this actually a good album though, should the Stones still have bothered putting out new music to add to their legacy? Opinions are divided. For this episode we are joined b…

2:00:59

Some albums are deserving of the term 'gamechanger' and here's a massive one from 1994. The Prodigy's second album 'Music For The Jilted Generation' introduced so many people to dance music who might not previously have given it a second thought so we were very excited to do an episode on it. So excited in fact that we brought a guest in to help us…

Who's up for a bit of Swedish reggae-pop then? Who knew that was going to be a big genre in the early 90s? Apparently Ace of Base did and they gave us quite a lot of it on this, their debut* album, which got to number one in 1994. As well as discussing the merits of The Sign and All That She Wants we chat some rubbish about Suicidal Tendencies, Kyu…

We're taking a metaphorical journey to Ireland to dip our toes into the debut album by The Cranberries 'Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can't We'. A band that both Dave and Krister admit to not liking the majority of what they've heard but then again the majority of what they've heard is the single 'Zombie' so perhaps there's more to The Cranberr…
